+HFP/HSP hardware offload data path ID (default: 0).

+This feature configures the SCO hardware‑offload data path for HFP/HSP using the Bluetooth 
+SIG–specified procedure. It is intended for advanced setups and vendor integrations. Do not 
+edit this unless required; incorrect values can disable SCO offload.
